Since 1995, Mama Margaret & Friends Cooking, Wine and Walking Adventures in Italy has run small, intimate, and unique cooking tours, off the beaten track, that immerse you in genuine Italian culture.  

You meet a long list of local food and wine characters you’d never meet otherwise. Stay in an Italian villa, historic hotel or farmhouse. Learn to cook regional Italian specialties with a variety of chefs and home cooks. Sample wines with local characters whose families have been making wine for generations.

Shop for fine Italian leather goods, fashion and gourmet foods. Wander markets, visit cheese makers and olive oil presses; bask in the golden sun under blue Mediterranean skies. You’ll feel Italian!

Tell us what you’ve always wanted to experience in Italy and we’ll custom design your dream holiday for you.
